Draft:Gigachad (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

Hello, my article has been flagged as potentially ‘unconstructive’ but I don’t really understand. Gigachad is part of modern culture today and it’s known and widely used by everyone. I think it could deserve a Wikipedia page, but if I’m missing something do let me know. thank you!

Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. Internet Memes are generally not notable subjects, though I don’t think that the filter should be outright blocking draft creations. – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 20:07, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done – The filter is working properly. It’s reasonable to prevent new users from creating drafts using these terms. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:04, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made. Pinging Daniel Quinlan as the maintainer of filter 1377, I will email them for suggestions. Codename Noreste (discuss • contribs) 20:23, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
